Deputy Attorney-General Joseph Dindiok Kpemka has been interrogated by officials of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) as part of investigations into his previous role at the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST).
Mr Kpemka, who previously served as Deputy Managing Director of BOST, was invited by EOCO officials on Thursday, September 10, 2026, according to information available.
He was subsequently granted bail, although details surrounding the reasons for his invitation and the specific issues under investigation remain unclear.
Kpemka was appointed Deputy Managing Director of BOST by then-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in May 2024.
His interrogation by EOCO comes at a time when the office is conducting investigations into the activities of some former government officials over suspected financial irregularities and other alleged infractions.
The development has drawn attention to ongoing efforts by Ghanaian authorities to investigate suspected economic and financial crimes involving individuals who previously held public office.
Joseph Dindiok Kpemka’s Political Career
Before his appointment to BOST, Joseph Dindiok Kpemka was a prominent figure in Ghanaian politics. He represented the Tempane Constituency in the Upper East Region after winning the parliamentary seat in the 2016 general election.
He, however, lost the Tempane parliamentary seat during the 2020 general election.
Kpemka also served as Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice under the Akufo-Addo administration.
His latest invitation by EOCO is therefore being closely followed due to his previous positions in government and at the state-owned petroleum logistics company.
EOCO Investigation Into BOST Matter Ongoing
The circumstances surrounding the EOCO interrogation have not been fully disclosed, and no detailed explanation has so far been provided regarding the specific allegations or issues involving the former BOST executive.
Investigations into the BOST-related matter are ongoing, and further details are expected as EOCO continues its work.
Authorities are expected to establish the facts surrounding the matter and determine whether any further action is required following the ongoing investigation.
